Ahh, you guys have got it easy .. try programming in C++ for Windows using
Microsoft's MFC 2.5 Class Libraries - there's a nightmare you're not likely
to forget!

Anyone got a spare Chinese Water Torture set (w/ steak knives) that I could
borrow?  I'm looking to relax over the next week, after struggling for the
past few days to convince MFC that I really *do* want a dialogue box as my
application's main window (and do so without playing games with passing
Windows messages).

*sigh*
